Avocado soup (vegan)

I've been asked by other moms what you can do with avocado other then Guacamole. So I decided to experiment and the Avocado soup was born. The recipe allows to skip some of the ingredients in case your child still isn't introduced to some of them. The soup is not only for kids but for adults as well. My husband does not eat avocado but he loved the soup.  The soup is suitable for vegans.

One of the ingredients I really love is the coconut milk but if you don't like it you can substitute it with 1/2 cup of heavy cream. DO NOT use the garnish for your child since it's spicy. We don't want to upset these little tummies.

And before I forget, you can always cut the recipe (actually any recipe I post)  in half if you are cooking for not more than 2 people.

Ingredients
4 avocados -ripe, peeled and cut in chunks
1 onion chopped finely
4 garlic clove chopped finely
1 quart water
2-3 Tbsp. Olive oil
2 cups coconut milk
1/2 cup cilantro chopped finely
1-2 Tbsp. Spike
1/2 Tsp. Dill weed
Black pepper to taste
The juice of a lime

Jalapeno and Tomato Garnish
3 Jalapeno peppers
1 Tomato

Saute the onions and the garlic in the olive oil until tender and golden. Add avocados and water and bring to boil . Reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 min. Remove from heat, then puree with a blender until very smooth. Add coconut milk and let it simmer for few more minutes. Add cilantro, lime juice, spike, dill weed, pepper. Stir well and serve with the garnish on top.

For the garnish , remove all the seeds from peppers and tomato. Cut in very small pieces and mix together in a bowl. Use 1-2 Tbsp. on top of soup.

  1. Yummy and tasty!!! I made this for supper tonight. Since I can't eat peppers or tomatoes, I need to find something else to spice it up a bit.
